13h05. -100kg : Arai, c’est show !
We introduced it to you during the 2023 junior world championships. A student at Tokai, modeled after a certain Shohei Ono, Dota Arai flew through this category at Odivelas, becoming world champion when he was not as junior first year. At the beginning of December, he finished in silver at the Tokyo Grand Slam, having orbited Arman Adamian on his way. Finally beaten in the Olympic race by Aaron Wolf (winner in Paris), this classy fighter has just enchanted the Mudabala Arena against local fighter Dzhafar Kostoev. Led with a waza-ari on yoko-guruma, Arai adjusts his sights before taking his opponent to the ceiling with a magnificent uchi-mata. In the same category, the Austrian Aaron Fara seems to have injured his knee while the very interesting Swiss Daniel Eich will be one to watch this Thursday after his two consecutive silver medals in the Grand Slam.
12h45. +78kg : Fontaine, facile
Two shidos, an ippon on o-uchi-gari during the first big attack: Léa Fontaine did not have to work hard to beat the Uzbek Rinata Ilmatova, fifth in the Asian championships at the end of April and 42nd in the world. On the next mat, first big clash of the day between Temur Rakhimov and Hyoga Ota in +100kg. The Japanese is the reigning Asian champion and the Tajik double silver medalist at the last two Grand Slams. While Ota was the only one to offer real attacks, on an uchi-mata, he relaxed completely? Rakhimov felt the blow and left in yoko-guruma. Waza-ari and more Japanese in the category.
12:00 p.m. Start of this fifth day of the individual event!
Only one Habs in the running this Thursday: Léa Fontaine (Sainte Geneviève Sports Judo) in +78kg.
11:45 a.m. (local time). Find our podcast of the 4th day, with the three French medals including the title of Margaux Pinot
